Hi,

My installation got detected as a trojana.

onlyfang commented 4 years ago

The install package will install VmServiceTray to Start Menu and Desktop, so that you can click to run it when you want, but it will not install VmServiceTray to Startup folder. I just downloaded the setup I posted at the Release page to double check. Did you add the second lnk by yourself after installation?

buchpat commented 4 years ago

That can be. I also found an articel the this tool is used for cryptomining.

I have also got the same threat warning. It tried to install the VmServiceTray to Startup folder also. Is the setup compromised?

FWIW, I got this too, but it's not in startup:

Strange enought I didn't see this warning with Windows Defender turned on on my Windows 10.

@buchpat Your messge seems to indicate this is caused by cracked version of Visual Studio. Just to clarify I am using Visual Studio Community 2019.

I am still confident what I posted out in release section is clean. Since this is a opensouce project people in doubt please try to compile the exe from source on your own by runing "do_build.bat".
